Tell us about it.... Google Notebook
If you spend a lot of time online, chances are you've come across information you wish you could revisit later, whether to digest it more slowly, investigate it further, or share it with a friend or colleague. With Google Notebook, you can browse, clip, and organize information from across the web in a single online location that's accessible from any computer. Crafting a lesson plan? Researching a topic? Just add clippings to your notebook. You don't even have to leave your browser window.
